Looks good Looking forward to hearing about your impression of them performance-wise.Did you add the SS brake lines too?

Yep, the Goodridge ones - funny enough though, I was missing a copper washer from the kit. Another member had the same problem like a week ago and everybody kept telling him he must have lost it. It worked out though, Tim had a bunch lying around so it didn't really delay anything.

The rotors are freaking awesome - though I do wish I had used them with the stock pads (that way I could see what an improvement just the rotors were), but I'm glad I did it all at once. I don't think I ever realized how "squishy" the stock rubber brake lines were until now. I can stomp on the brakes and it's just constant pressure all the way down.

Kaylee can literally stop on a dime now. I've noticed that I'm starting to play "chicken" with red lights - seeing how long I can wait before I need to hit the brakes and still stop before the line. It's a lot of fun. I need to find a HPDE near me so I can really enjoy these things.

Luckily I live kind of out in the boonies, so I get to enjoy windy backroads on my way to/from work every day. You wouldn't think that changing out rotors would improve handling - but it does. Which makes sense when you think about how much weight these rotors save over the stock ones. It's like Kaylee's a whole new car.

So you went with the Goodridge SS brake lines instead of Pedders? LOL, I can guess why. I'm not too surprised at how well the rotors and the new pads would react. I'm sure you're stopping somewhere's about 5 -10 feet shorter with them from 60 -0, and more from higher speeds. I'd be curious as to how much less the brake dust will build up on the wheels, keep us posted on that.

All that work bro and you didn't bother to at least wipe off that poor Brake caliper?>! LOL

Love the new rotors bro. Looks good!

They got wiped after the picture was taken - not to worry

Yeeaaa - as much as I love having Pedders red under the car, Goodridge lines were like half the cost.

So made a few more "Nathan" related purchases - why do I keep going back to his thread I'll never know.

First is an Evap solenoid relocation kit from PCM of NC. Though I may/will probably relocate the solenoid via Nathan's method in his Cleaning Up the Clutter in our Engine Bay thread. Don't know why I bothered to type out what Nathan's thread was - pretty sure everyone knows which one I'm talking about when I say "his thread."

Another option that a member did was this one: LINK It's a little more involved, but it definitely does hide the solenoid

Anyway - reason I was willing to pay for the relocation kit was because it saved me having to extend the wiring harness(es), etc. Though I am hoping I can still use my TechAFX braided stainless steel line :/ - if not it'll be going to the marketplace (or just pay it forward).

I've also been working with Tracy at RX Performance about replacing my oil breather for a 1LE oil breather. Tracy was kind enough to let me in on a new item they're starting to offer - 1LE style clean side separators.

I also have a bunch of parts coming from Alan at G3 Composites. Can't wait to get those installed, not going to lie.

Finally got my BLACK EDITION door projectors installed. 3rd Gen honestly couldn't have written better instructions. Took about an hour and a half once I figured out what tools worked best for cutting the door panel.

Here are some pics from during the install.

Pic looking up at the projector - and the reason the text is backwards is because when it gets projected onto the ground it's reads the right way.

I'll get a good picture of the projector in action once it gets dark, no worries.
